Abstract
The movement of goods is a topic of interest, both nationally and internationally. In addition to the fact that freight transport directly contributes to economic growth, ultimately all delivered goods and merchandise end up on businessmen's shelves and in people's households. Thus, it can be said that the way in which the entire freight transport process is carried out also affects the quality of people's lives. The transportation problem concerns the optimization of the distribution of a given substance or resource from a set of origin points (sources) to a set of destination points (destinations) such that the transportation cost or time is minimized. This is a classic optimization problem, often modeled by transportation networks. The minimum cost method, also known as the northwest corner method, is a technique used in transportation and logistics to determine an optimal initial solution to a transportation problem. The goal is to minimize the initial transportation costs by efficiently allocating resources.
